Belgrade,
26 May 2010
The Serbian parliament adopted a Law today on the prevention of abuse in the workplace which prohibits any kind of abuse at work and related to work.
The law defines as abuse any active or passive repeated behaviour towards an employee or a group of employees, which aims at hurting the dignity, reputation, personal and professional integrity, health or position of the employee.
Abuse is also any form of behaviour that raises fear or creates a hostile, humiliating or offensive environment, worsens the working conditions or causes the employee to isolate himself or herself, or make the employee quit the job at his or her own initiative.
Abuse is also considered to be the participation in such behaviour, or encouraging and inducing others to behave in such a way. The perpetrator of abuse is the employer with the legal capacity of a physical person, or an executive of the employer with the legal capacity of legal person, as well as an employee or a group of employees who perform the above-mentioned actions.
Provisions of this law also cover cases of sexual harassment.
